so so true, my husband has his own internet business, so he is always working from home. It is so annoying. I know he is just trying to earn a living, but some nights he will have his dinner and go straigh on his laptop. Grrr

This is one thing I understand very well ;o)

Sometimes finding that 1 person who understands the need for Tech can also help.

No problem. My mom was a hippie in Berkeley and lived on an ashram in Pennsylvania post-hippie. She now teaches kundalini yoga and hosts women’s groups and does naturopathic healing. There was nothing less cool to me than their generation’s masturbatory self-involvement when I was coming of age.

I was in a hardcore punk band in the 80s, then a biker, now I’m in law enforcement. I tend to be more pragmatic and matter-of-fact. There’s no question that if you at all feel that the journey we’re all on should result in some sort of evolution of the spirit that you appreciate the implications of marriage and parenthood before you engage, and during the trip.

Honestly, most days I could just use a good nap to recover from all the double shifts I work, and more time with my two year old. Oh yeah, and a date with my wife so we remember why we thought all this was a good idea in the first place. If there’s any time left over after all that, I might even write a blog article or watch a movie on my big screen :)

Understand Michael :O)

your article does touch on something more fundamental about relationships and what individuals are and can give and accept about changing themselves. What is giving too much about? what is giving too little about? perhaps this is a bit too heavy at this hour of the morning :O)

[...] Michael Lankton of Connected Internet speaks of this in his article, “Marriage And Itâ€™s Effect On Technology And The Internet”. [...]

Well first of all the article, while containing more than a bit of truth, is obviously tongue in cheek.

I think I’m pretty clear on marriage and parenthood opening up avenues of growth that make us not just better spouses and parents, but better people. I wouldn’t change a thing about my life.

Thanks for the comment, keep reading CI

HI Michael. When does a compromise or a democracy turn into an erasing of your own character when you choose to share your life with someone?

I don’t think there is an answer to this (although I have written a lot myself about these issues).

I think essentially, for each of us we have to choose what we can offer up to our partners that we are willing to reduce/stop, and what is so important to us we continue that we decide it is part of who we are.

I think it is important that this is a conscious process and one that is not stumbled upon as the situations occur only to generate potential bitterness between each of you.

I agree and believe that it is important to change your ways to share your life with someone but it is vital that you do not loose what is the essence of you in that process.

So many separations are due to this, and so many people afterwards realise they compromised themselves too much and lost part of themselves that they missed within a relationship.

Love the blog. Keep it up :O)
